Halfway through my third semester of graduate school…. I find myself writing more and more. Not writing about what I probably should be writing about. You know, like my thesis project. I’m clearly not putting enough time to developing my … Continue reading →

As a YOUNG, BILINGUAL, LATINA JOURNALIST, I have at many times felt intimidated. Initimidated by more experienced Journalists or by Journalists who dominated a language better than I did.

Ever since I was a child, my writing stood out to professors. It began with GATE, a program I was chosen to be a part of in Elementary school. Thanks to GATE I was taken out of regular class to focus on my artistic writing, that is where I learned about Poetry and story telling. Then, in middle school I out of hundredths of students was granted a scholarship to Cabrillo College because of an essay I had written. In High School I struggled with certain classes but English was never one of them. I have been placed in advanced English classes since I could remember. In college, I noticed a difference. I was still a good writer but I had a lot more competition. I was learning alongside very good, creative writers. Still, I always could write an essay in english and spanish with little struggle, turn it in and receive a good grade.After having completed College, I began working…. turning in news articles where you know, little of your personality can be expressed. News is short, to the point and informative.

It wasn’t until I began BLOGGING that I was once again able to WRITE. Write about anything! Write about what I love most, my passions, my family, my struggles, my experiences! Not only expressing myself and putting thought into every single word that went into my Blog but have people read about it! Have people read about my life, my experiences and read MY WORDS. That is why I felt so honored when “Tu Voz en Tu Vida” contacted me with hopes of having MY article, “Stuck in the middle” be featured on their online magazine. All I have ever wanted is to have my words be read and thanks to this opportunity, they will be, not only from the people I know or know me but from complete strangers who will probably relate and find comfort in my words. Blogging has been an excellent creation, and anyone who has anything to share, any words to express, do it! Because you never know who will come across your words, across your blogs and feel inspired! Happy blogging!
